No doubt that for the money this is a great toy but it is really little more than that. I mainly use it with a set of headphones and just jam to tracks that can also be lined into this from laptop/ipod/whatever. Very nice for bedroom rockstars.

You can get nearly an infinite number of sounds with all the combinations of amps, effect, tone controls, etc. It is extremely versitile but that comes a the cost of ease of use- it is difficult to dial in all those perfect tones for every amp model you may want to try. While you can get some really cool sounds- for me at least 90% of the stuff on it is worthless. Like auto wah, the phaser options are not good, tron up? really? I'd rather have more choices of good, staple effects than some of the more out-there effects that this comes with. Some knobs have dual or tripple functions and I still don't know how to get some of them to work... Mash this button then while holding it press this button twice then turn knob all the way counter clockwise... etc... I mean really, who has the patience to learn and remember all that stuff?

Another confusing thing is that the knobs are static so if you create a setting for one pedal then change to another pedal the sounds will be different but then knobs still show the settings from the last pedal- IOW you can't "see" the settup of any single pedal when you switch to it. You can change it and play with it but you don't know what the setting were to start with.

Another difficulty is that there are three volume controls on this board- at at least one volume control on your gutiar and one on your amp so you have 5 or more volume controls to deal with to get your volume right. Also, it may sound good with one guitar or amp and totally awful with another- then you have to start tweaking again. Default volume settings are not the same accross all amp models either- what is a 10 on a Vox only be a 5 on a Marshall- so if you switch from one amp model to another, you also have to account for a potential volume difference that may not get fixed by the volume on your guitar. Channel volumes can vary dramatically also depending on how high you have the master volume set.

It can be useful in a gig situation though if you make sure you are always using the same gear with it and have your pedals dialed in solid before hand. It can potentially give me 124 custom channels (31 banks for the four pedals). I just make sure I have one bank solid and leave it there and swich between 4 channels that I have carefully honed in for the sound variety I want.

It can be hooked up to your computer and you can load and modify settings with software but you need connection cables to do that and it doesn't come with them (big downer).

All in all, it is a fun little pedal board and you can get a pretty good idea of how many different amps sound without hanging out at the music store every weekend.

It is a little cheaply built- there is no seal between the pedal buttons and the circuit board connected to them. I spilled coffee on it one day and it knocked out one of the pedals (wouldn't come on) even after taking apart and cleaning. After a while it started working again though.

Still a lot of fun but after playing with it for some time now, I have a greater appreciation for the simplicity of a few really good pedals with a good quality amp.

Does a lot of stuff, and I know it is capable of producing some great tones. But, I can't find any, and I hate this thing! I can't even sell it! I bought a Digitech multi-effect pedal for $99 and love it. I'm just sayin!I should give it 20 out of 10 for features as far as capabilities go, because it can do everything, however, it can't do multiple things at once, so 5. It is also WAY too complicated for me, and I have been playing for 18 years. These type of processors are supposed to be great for beginners so they can figure out what they like without buying 50 different pedals, but if it's not user-friendly enough for anyone except a sound engineer to dial in a useful tone, then that defeats the purpose. I tinkered with this thing for weeks, read the manual, sought online help, and had friends and other guitarists try to help, and this thing just is too hard to dial in. The presets that come in it are just silly and not usable. They must just be for showing off what it can do if you want to push the limits, but I have scrolled through more presets than I have the patience to try out, and found zero that suit my taste or anyone else's. If you want a multi-effect processor, get a Digitech. Same price or less, and it actually does do multiple effects at once, and I figured out how to dial it in without even reading the book. It's about as solid as anything you buy these days, but most of it is plastic. If you are good at programming or an effects whiz, then go for it. If you are average Joe geetar player, you will wind up smashing this with a sledge hammer out of frustration.

Way too fragile, failed in the first year so I got a warrenty repair, now it dies again so I've had it less than two years. Most of the time it's in my practice studio and I only play locally so it's definately not been used or abused. Sounded OK but still had too much varience in volume from tone to tone and people mentioned it sounded "synthetic"

I have never owned a Line 6 POD product before, but know several people that swear by them. So I jumped at it when I saw the Floor POD Plus come up as the Stupid Deal of the Day. I am still figuring things out on it and the multitude of options are really amazing. Some of the built-in presets sound pretty good right out of the box, but the presets aren't grouped in a logical manner. It seems the presets are just to show off the different capabilities of the device and after running through them one time, I quickly began to customize the sounds myself. This device has a pretty steep learning curve, but all the information on how to make your own presets are laid out in the manual very clearly.

The worship band that I play for purchased this and right when we got it plugged in.... BRAND NEW out of the box..... the WAH/Volume pedal didn't work.. and we called the company and they said it was something in the hardware and that they have had a lot of calls concerning this issue...and the pedal in general is just way too complicated to work. i would recommend a Digitech over this any day. or individual pedals sound better to me than multi effects pedals. but this is definitely a NO.

This is a very well designed piece of equiptment, however I got it when I was just starting and I found it to be very difficult to manage all of the parts. You can make it simple and just ignore all of the frills but the frills take up a good portion of the board. For beginners I would say that you ought to spend your money getting a distortion effect that can get you a good sound and maybe a low line delay effect. If you want extras go for it but I would say that to get really good tone, stay simple and wait a few more years before you get this. It really is a quality piece of work but I am a little disappointed in the quality of tone or ease to get such quality tone.

I'm a purist guitar player with fifteen year experience and just wanna say that this multi effects is the best option if you don´t have enough money to expend in a rock star gear in order to be available to get this legendary sound from early year of rock and roll to futurist styles.

The fact of this multi effects is cheaper not means that it is only for begginers guitarists, POD is a great trademark in musicians and producers professionals and this multi effects have enough nuts to challenge with any multi effects gear.

Was hoping this would be as good as my old Korg AG-1500, another small, cheap multi unit. It's pretty good, but I was dissapointed that "ratio" was the only adjustable parameter for the compressor, their are no long reverbs, and you can't name your settings. Still a good unit for it's price.

I absolutely love the Floor Pod Plus. I have a lot of different multi Effects Pedals and this is by far my most favorite. I have the Line 6 POD XT Live and it just lays around. I use this at all my gigs and at church. I love the multiple effect options and the look, but most important are the controls. I have yet to use such a simple multi effects pedal. Everything is controlled by knobs, there are only two buttons AND I LOVE THAT! If you're thinking of buying this, you won't regret it!
